Windows Error: Exited with non-zero status (1)

[Kululu17]

Hi - I had a project that was running fine, and suddenly refused to compile with the error:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe exited with non-zero status (1)
elapsed time 00:00:04.0321674s for command "C:\ProgramData/GameMakerStudio2/Cache/runtimes\runtime-2.2.1.287/bin/Igor.exe" -options="F:\Games II\GameMaker_2\GMS2TEMP\build.bff" -- Windows Run started at 02/01/2019 15:33:27
"cmd" /c subst V: /d

I have updated GMS , and the runtime. No effect. Any ideas?

last time I had this happen I had an instance_create function inside of a function that was set to gml_pragma "global." It was essentially trying to spawn an object before it loaded into any rooms. Not sure if that's anything you're doing but it's something to be aware of

Hi - thanks for the hint. I was actually just making some minor tweaks to one of the rooms (no code changes) when this happened.

Possibly an endless loop in there too.

Were you playing with any 'while' or 'for' loops at the time?

Thank you for the suggestion. I was just working with the room editor, adding and changing the position of objects. Oh, and I changed the names of some of the rooms too. But no code changes.

Have you cleared your cache?

Hi All, thanks for you help. In scrolling further up the compile message, I do some some error that are somewhat more helpful:

gml_RoomCC_Jungle_2_0_Create(0) : malformed assignment statement
gml_RoomCC_Jungle_2_0_Create(0) : Assignment operator expected

What is a room "Assignment operator"?

Possibly something wrong inside your Room "Creation Code"?
Or inside the Create event of an object of yours called "Jungle_2_0"?

Seems like a coding error.
